I am using this php function file.
```
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . 'http://www.giftforgag.com/wp-content/themes/blaskan/style.css' );

}
?>
```
I want to know how to link up the parent theme to child theme. Here I have used the full URI but it is not working. I have been asked to convert this whole uri to simple ‘/style.css’. But how do I do this?

The following worked for me. Put this in the functions.php file in your child theme.

<?php
/**
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Enqueu the parent and child theme stylesheets//
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array('parent-style')
    );
}
?>

Be sure you have the following at the top of your style.css file in your child theme:

/*
Theme Name: Blaskan Child
Theme URI:    http://www.giftforgag.com/wp-content/themes/blaskan-child/
Description:    Child theme for the Blaskan theme
*/
